Let's take a minute here to define EXACTLY what we are talking about here otherwise a vote is meaningless.
When I first read this thread and voted the above quotes were what I based my vote on,
But with this as an option
as a price point ant miner is selling a non auction right here
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=348747.0 they ask 4.25 BTC for a 180 gh machine. this is a flat price. seems to me we could list our 1 for 11 BTC it would be a bargain compared to the 180 gh x 3 = 12.75 for 540 gh for unproved tech.
while we would be 11 BTC for 550gh proven tech.
I would probably change my vote. Starting at 20 or 25K but then considering 11btc (11K) is half of what I voted on.
In order to make this valid I believe we need to set a price that we sell at, anything less than that and we keep hashing.
Its hard to vote when the target is changing by 50% or more+1 (incidentally, 1 share)
I agree well at least the problem is an upside problem (btc went to the MOON) rather then an other type of problem.
After we get the next dividend we will have more house money making decision a bit easier.
In a way there are 3 votes not 2 ..
1)do a safe btc auction on bitcointalk----get 10-12 safe coins pros no returns con less money
2) do a risky ebay auction ------------- get 18-21 risky coins pros more money can't stop a return
3) fuck it just hash man hash------------ the next diff should be under 700 mill we would earn 5 btc maybe 6 from dec 1 to dec 13
Good point Phillip
Before I can finalize my vote I need to know what I am voting on, which was the only point I was trying to make.
I'm not opposed to any of the above options, would just like to know which one is being voted on so I can make the best decision.
So I guess the first decision to be made is which auction would we do? Once that is known the vote to keep or sell could be made as we would then know the expected return from the sale.
Are there any other options or possibilities that should be put forward before a decision is made?
I think I can force BTC as the only option for an EBAY BUYER. I am working on this right now. Give me an hour. If this works I will post.
